American Pickers

Have you seen the show American Pickers on the history channel? It's two antique dealers who travel the country visiting individuals and purchase their long forgotten items. You may ask what are these valuable treasures?

Old oil cans, advertising signs, toys, rusted beyond belief bicycles, old gasoline pump's, basically any crap that some farmer has had in the barn for the past 50 years..... Seriously this is all crap!

I like at the end of the show how they say an item is picked for $50 and valued at $250..... yeah right! As PT Barnum used to say there's a sucker born every minute, good luck with that.

If it was up to me I would fill the nearest landfill with their week's worth of treasures. Crap I tell you, it's all crap. Why can't I stop watching this damn show?

I love those two. Did you see the episode where they found an old Laurel and Hardy advertising sign. Looked just like the pair! LOL

I watch that show every once in a while. I actually like Pawn Stars on the same station. It's very entertaining and educational at the same time.
